The power may have shifted but — 42 years on — the scoreline remained the same as Sunderland and Leeds met for the first time in the FA Cup since the famous final of 1973.

Twenty-five places separated Don Revie’s cup holders and Bob Stokoe’s Second Division underdogs when they upset the Wembley odds thanks to the late Ian Porterfield’s goal and those heroes were back at the Stadium of Light yesterday.

More than four decades on and 26 positions divide the sides, with Leeds’ demise leaves them fearing relegation to League One.
